Lumberjacks, YouTube and Chocolate on a Stick

Lumberjacks, YouTube and Chocolate on a Stick

Your everyday jeans need the proper everyday belt. Preferably handmade in a river... in
Tennessee. Enter Cause and Effect, a line of such belts in colors available exclusively through Perks
for 40% off. Your everyday jeans will not be disappointed.

A New Source for Smelling Like Whiskey

You can never go wrong dressing like a lumberjack. (Your flannel tux: perfect for New Year’s.) And now
that Oregon’s Woodlands Supply Co. has opened up an online store, you can pick up some camping flasks,
hatchets and whiskey-scented cologne, in your underwear. (The axe is optional.)

Hot Chocolate on a Stick

With hot chocolate season in full swing, you can’t be messing around with cocoa powder. The latest
stunning advance in confectionary-related innovation dissolves 1.3 ounces of chocolate into your waiting mug
of hot milk when stirred. And you always keep a few marshmallows up your sleeve...

Vintage Self-Help Books

You’ve learned a lot from the ’70s—including the enduring power of the leisure suit—but there’s
always more to discover. Exhibit A: these boxed sets of self-help cassettes and hardcovers, covering
timeless topics like astral projection and “vibrasonics.” Just be careful whose stocking you stuff this
in.

Putting YouTube on Shuffle

You can never hear too many versions of “Talk Dirty to Me.” Okay, you can, and here’s where you’ll
do it. This site lets you flip through videos Pandora-style or find every last version of your favorite
song, including live renditions and amateur covers. Turns out your limit is four.

Toothbrush Subscription

You’ve got kilometers of French silk dental floss, a lifetime subscription to a shampoo-of-the-month
club... and now, finally, a magical helper to deliver you a new toothbrush every three months—even if it
somehow slips your mind. Bottomless conditioner cannot be far behind.
